here is some more information, maybe that helps. These are just
different lines of code from different files, but they actually
describe what's happening:

settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = '/Library/WebServer/Documents/media/indiebreed/'

models.py
file = models.FileField(upload_to="tmp/tracks", max_length = 1000)

json_views.py
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TrackForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            new_track = form.save(commit = False)
            print new_track.file.path

error:
IOError at /music/tracks/testupload/
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Library/WebServer/Documents/
media/indiebreed/03 Magical Box.mp3'

actually the path should be like this:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/media/indiebreed/tmp/tracks/03 Magical
Box.mp3

any ideas?
ah, i am on a mac and it works under linux

many thanks.
